Here is the finisher’s medal from the 35th Lincoln Marathon that took place on May 6, 2012 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Pretty medal and an exact replica of the Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon Medal (see HERE). Not sure which one went to this design first, but I’d bet on this one above since it is the 35th running of the event.

Well, obviously not an exact replica as the Springfield race faces the front. The Lincoln, NE medal really looks like a penny (side orientation portrait), where the Springfield medal used a full face portrait similar to the $5 bill. I don’t know who gave out the penny finisher medal first, but the Springfield race this year was the 48th running, 13 more than Lincoln, NE.
You are an official pennytologist. 😉 Both are great medals.
